I sold my first SaaS for $50,000

Congratulations, a major step in your journey, can’t wait to see your next posts!

The first time, I read how to transfer assets when a product is sold/bought.

First of all, congratulations for your successful and inspiring journey!
I am actually wondering if 50k was a fair price though… an activity that gave you 67k in revenue across a 2 years effort is it really wort 50k ONLY? I was actually expecting you adding a zero to that number.

Congratulations, as a developer, that’s a big achievement! Thanks for sharing such recourse. Best of luck for the next one 😊

Such an awesome read. This is something I’ve been looking forward to doing, but that idea hasn’t popped in my mind yet. Congrats on the sale, looking forward to hearing about your new ventures!
